As you can see above, deb-view is simply a superset of tar-mode.  That

but it is more than likely an Emacs bug.

I am not so certain.  Tar-mode works fine with coding-system utf-8, also
for gzipped tarballs.  What might be the culprit is the message

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

that appears (hidden, due to narrowing) in the *.deb-DATA buffer.  This may
indicate that Emacs sends the data.tar.gz in the .deb file with
coding-conversion to gzip, which will fail then.  Contrastingly, the
control.tar.gz correctly appears in the *.deb-INFO buffer.

I see that you are using:


ii  emacs-snapshot [emac 1:20051215-1        The GNU Emacs editor
ii  emacs21 [emacsen]    21.4a-3             The GNU Emacs editor



Which one is falling?  Both?

Yes, both.

I tested the above on stable (emacs21 21.4a-1) and it worked.  I'll try
at home on  unstable.

Please do so and tell me the results.

Thanks,

Sven
